Looks very promising I will give it a try.
Related: I would love to see an open source confluence alternative as well, as for issues there are many (more or less capable) options to choose from.

#12My opinion based on feature and screenshots is that the UX is as shitty as Jira. The nightmare with Jira is this product manager obsession with kaban boards that become overwhelmed once your project become serious.
Just because your project is serious doesn't mean you should be looking at 300 things at once. Hence a kanban board.

#13Thank you for posting this.
Looks pretty basic but somehow complete. The first impression is good. Here's some criticism:
The first thing I look for in a issue tracker is the screen estate to write the task. I understand that some people write a list of issues in the form of short blurbs and iterate on them afterwards, but it always feels frustrating to me to having to write the title in a modal window, save and then open the issue again to be able to see a larger textarea for the description. I also see it as discouraging for people to write better descriptions for the issues they open.
The keyboard navigation is probably not complete (press P to create a project, you would still need the mouse to focus the textbox and to save the project)
On my computer it started in Dark Mode, and the experience overall was quite a bit disorientating. Also no light/mode switch icon in the header.
It is not clear to the user that you can/should use markdown.

This totally expected level of unconstructive critique makes this comment a miniature art piece.

For me the problem is more that 'agile' is now a buzzword and companies try to apply it to lots of things where it doesn't really work.
In our company our CIO declared everything should be agile. So now we log our hours in Jira. That's it :P supposedly that makes us agile or something.

You can use Jira just fine without Kanban boards. That's really the beauty and the curse of Jira, it can be pretty much anything you want it to. To truly compete with Jira you need a level of flexibility that almost guarantees that your product will suck to.
If you run Jira, Confluence and Bitbucket, the level of integration you can achieve is pretty unmatched. The cost: You need to buy the data center edition, on-prem is required to get any sensible level of performance, and you need Atlassian experts on staff.

#19Does this one allow you to assign more than one person to a ticket?
Re: Plane – Open-source Jira alternative
#20Is it me or does that look extremely similar to Linear, another competitor in that space?
Not in the sense of the feature set, there's only so many things you can do with an issue tracker and a kanban board, but in the sense of actual visual design (fonts, text sizes, etc.)
